Dont believe the hype. This is nothing but a tourist trap. The shop is so small you can barely turn around in it. They are selling overpriced Ritter candy bars -$5 each when you can buy them for 2.49 each at Target or pretty much any grocery store. I bought a pecan turtle and the caramel was so hard it broke off the chocolate when I tried to take a bite. Masks are required but the woman working there making chocolates was playing on her filthy cell phone with an ungloved hand WHILE making the candy. Yuck. No hygiene standards at all but I had to wear a mask. Unbelievable. She never even looked up once to greet or welcome us, which was very off putting, especially since we were in such close proximity to her in such a small shop. She was obviously aware of our presence and we were the ONLY PEOPLE in the store at that point. We also had to listen to her conversation with someone about her booster shots when we first stepped in the door. Yeah, I really want to hear about the employees personal medical info while shopping for candy. NEVER AGAIN.
Cutest little chocolate shop with delicious treats! I cannot wait to go back
Delicious chocolates and candies! They also have a variety of authentic German treats and small souvenir type items. Definitely worth it to stop in for a treat!
Great selection of chocolates and candy, a little on the pricey side though. I almost always stop at Schmidts Sausage Haus whenever Im in CMH, but dont always take time for the fudge shop. I recently did. They have chocolates commonly found in Germany such as the Milka and Toblerone brands. I bought some milk chocolate with orange flavored filling which were great, along with some Milka and Toblerone bars for my family. The staff were very friendly to me and another customer who wandered in after me.
Some of the best chocolate and fudge in Columbus. Nice traditional chocolate shop featuring multiple varieties of house made fudge, chocolates and a selection of some nostalgia candy. Very friendly and helpful staff as well as very reasonable prices for the high quality of their products. Would highly recommend.
Adorable little fudge shop on a beautiful brick street. Enjoy peanut butter fudge and meander down the street for a peek at a lovely neighborhood. Especially great during the fall!
Excellent candies, including their homemade chocolates and some imported chocolates from Germany. Very friendly employees, too
Went here after a meal at Schmidts. Typical gift shop with homemade fudge and chocolates. That said, the employee was making almond crusted toffee--one of my weaknesses. I ended up buying an 8oz bag. $$$, but probably one of the best toffees I have ever had. They have many other chocolates there as well. Bring some extra cash and treat yourself to some very tasty chocolate.
This place has a surprising array of selections in addition to fudge. Some of which are completely unexpected and amazing finds. But mostly a lot of kitsch. If you have time, its worth a look.
A must place to visit when in Columbus. Great Christmas items and German candy. Awesome and friendly staff. Especially Kieth!!
Another gem in the German Village. I nearly fell over myself to purchase their maple cream chocolates! Had to get some gummies to bring home for my Haribo addicted brother.
Very nice place. Its like your in a German candy store. They have pretty good chocolates and nice gifts. The owner is very nice and helpful.
Just a delightful shop full of delicious things. A city favorite that is a tried and true spot for great treats and gifts. Great products at reasonable prices. Some prices are a bit higher, but for good quality items and well worth it. Can not recommend enough!
Love this place! Great candy, great gifts. Great job Tim!
I have lived in Columbus for 15 years and never been here before. Today I had some time and I was in the area and stopped in. Man this is some good stuff!! I didnt catch the guys name working, but he was so very nice and answered my questions! I bought so goodies and will definitely be back!!
Great location just really busy on weekends need a reservation
This is a nice little store. Not only can you find some delicious candies/fudge here they have other souvenir type items. The prices are fair. The employee who was working was so friendly and helpful. He actually talked to my girlfriend and I about our trip and give us pointers on where we should visit while in town. He was a genuine person and he made us feel very welcome! Highly reccomend you stop by
Im biased because its family owned and I love the area. More spirit and heart into this shop than most. The german village area puts a lot of character and care into their shops. Again Im biased because my dad owns this place, but its amazing place.
A gift, candy and fudge shop all under one roof. We stopped in while walking around the German Village. The place was filled with delicious treats and, of course, amazing Buckeyes! We got a whole assortment of treats to eat and were not disappointed with any of them!
This is the best candy and fudge shop in Columbus. Their turtles, buckeyes, peanut butter cups and of course fudge are unmatched in quality and taste. The prices are very good too, almost too good in comparison to the quality and delicious product provided - but Im not complaining! :)The customer service is out of this world and you can tell that your business is welcome and appreciated. I recently had an inquiry on the status of some gift orders I had placed on their website and received a friendly prompt response and was also able to call and speak with Tim, who was just an absolute pleasure to speak and work with!Tim also let me know that there is a Village Lights event this Sunday, December 2nd, where you follow the luminaries from shop to shop and enjoy the sights and tastes of the area. I had no idea about it however am so happy Tim made me aware. Hopefully my family and I can attend and of course stop back by Schmidts for more treats!Please go visit this wonderful location and wonderful people who run this shop. Its in beautiful, historic German Village and I can promise you wont be let down. Now, you may gain a few pounds from all of the delicious offerings but dont say you were not warned!Also please dont be selfish and keep them all to yourselves lol. They have an amazing website where you can order their treats and other gifts to send to your loved ones outside of Columbus or Ohio. We sent some to my parents and my in laws up in Cleveland :)Ill be back again, and again because you just simply cant match their confections and customer service!
There a few times that an adult can feel like a kid in a candy store and visiting here was one of those times! From the local artwork to seeing the candy being made in large copper pots and on a marble slap this place was a visual delight. The shelves and shelves of hand-made chocolate candies made me question my adult decision making skills because I could have easily spent a hundred dollars here. An amazing and delicious experience!
There selection is so good. The chocolate covered almonds are to die for! I have also gotten assorted wafers and they are pretty delicious. The staff are kind and friendly. Would totally come again. The prices are pretty OK. (If you have a high/unlimited budget.) Good way to end lunch/dinner at Schmidts Sausage Haus
We were just leaving Schmidt’s Sausage Haus around 9:30 and happened to walk by the Fudge Haus when Tim came up and asked if we wanted to check it out! He just needed to get ribbons but still let us come in and browse. Upon telling him it was my birthday he let us sample some chocolates and provided me with a special birthday discount! Tim was overall a very wonderful person and was extremely nice! I will definitely be recommending Schmidt’s Fudge Haus to all of my friends as we felt extremely welcome and had a wonderful close to our evening!
Everytime I am in Columbus I go there. For sure it’s the best candy and fudge shop.Their staff is always friendly and I always feel really welcomed!!Their chocolates and fudges are delicious!!German Village is a nice and pretty area. Good to go with family and friends!!
Tim was so welcoming and friendly. I brought my parents and family to the store and Tim gave us a very special, personalized experience. We will definitely be returning and buying more chocolates from him. Everything was absolutely delicious.
My sister placed an order in early December of a chocolate order for my mom for Christmas but something happened and she had to place the order again in January. We received the box of chocolates in mid January with a hand written note apologizing for the delay and to inform us they included extra chocolate products to show how sincere they was for the delay. It was the hand written note that really made the difference. They really care for their customers which made the chocolate all the more delicious!
I got some buckeyes, fudge and sea salt caramels. Everything was so good. The gentleman working was very helpful in answering questions and was really kind. They have a very nice selection.
House made fudge and other chocolates. Divine! Candies from the 60s like Turkish Taffy and Chunky bars. Lovely gifts. Located a few doors down from Schmidts Sausage Haus. Both are great tourist destinations.
This store has a nice selection of sweets to chose from and some nice souvenirs. The employee, tim was great and super friendly! He made us feel very welcome and gave us tips on what to do while in town! Lovely little shop and we will definitely stop back when we visit the german village! Highly reccomend it!
Tim the owner, along with the other staff members gave outstanding customer service! The presentation of deliveries were exceptional!! As a customer, you made the occasion very special to me. I would highly recommend to anyone.
Would love to visit this someday. Greetings from the Philippines!
Great variety, everything tastes great. Definitely get some of the caramels if you go!
Everything here tastes amazing!
Fun place with lots of good candy.
Yum. We went back a second time on our mini vacation. Service was good. Try the macadamia nut clusters. Delicious.
Picked up some holiday gifts, buckeyes and fudge mostly. Grabbed a couple small vanilla cream and maple creams as well for funzies. Pretty quality stuff, the carmel is really good. Friendly staff as well. A tad pricey but you wont be upset with the product.
Best Buckeye Chocolates in the land. Any time I visit Ohio I stop in and buy Buckeyes from there. Don’t fall for those other ones like at the airports. You won’t be disappointed!
Not inexpensive, but good homemade caramels and very friendly service.
This place never ever lets you down. Fantastic food really hits the spot if you want German food. Cream puffs are amazing. If I could have a thousand without getting fat I would.
I’m writing this review as I eat my fudge lol. Amazing shop & such nice service. Knowledgeable about the fudge/chocolate & friendly.
Everything is great, Im sure of it! They make all their own fudge and chocolate candies. Buckeyes are candies with chocolate and peanut butter and signify the buckeye tree and its nuts. Every candy shop makes them. But here they melt in your mouth and are so creamy.Now the best reason to come here for me is that they make their own sugar free chocolate candies! Thats great since I am diabetic. Peanut Butter Meltaways are the bomb. Chocolate Caramels and Peanut Chocolate Dips and Chocolate Covered Raisins and Peanuts. All in both regular or Sugar Free.... You will regret coming for one reason - you will want to buy it all. LOL
I could speak about the unique items such as the carved, wooden scenes, the handmade candy selection, cute cloth hangings (Grandparents so easy even....), collectible beer steins, or other unique items for sale, but fudge. Nothing more truly needs said.
Was in there today and was looking at item number 1802 which is a 5 piece German village set. I was taking pictures of it to show my wife. I was interested in purchasing it. The sales clerk was excessively rude and talked down to me about taking pictures in his private business. Quick way to run off customers. I will never refer this business to anyone.
I love everything they sell especially the fudge! The assorted chocolates and even Buckeyes are so delicious!! I’m craving it right now!!!
Tourist trap. Waste no time here.
Dangerous place. Leave your credit cards in the car and take with you only the cash that you are willing to spend. And NEVER go into Schmidts Fudge Haus when youre hungry!
Delicious fudge! We didnt do anything other than get fudge here, since the wait for the restaurant was so long, but I think we got the best part. The fudge was delicious. Not as big a selection as I expected, but very good!
Absolutely love this welcoming, cozy store. Originality and deliciousness. Homemade fudge + candy. Unique gifts.
Great selection of chocolate and gifts.
I loved this place. 😍 My grandfather is Switz and it felt like I was eating over his house. Bring a feeling of the old world over to here. Atmosphere and looks of the place have such a great German feel.
I stopped in tonight and enjoyed shopping all of the candy and unique items. The customer service was second to none. The man who helped me tonight was so polite and helpful. It was a great stop!
I love this village! The restaurant was great and the fudge shop was great! Sausages are so good and staff is friendly and upbeat. German food, pastries and candy at its best!
Some of the best customer service in town. Very friendly with all customers returning or old. Gave wonderful recommendations as well. Just overall great environment and atmosphere.
The people here were so nice. This was my first visit to German village and I was sad not to find more shops like this. We walked away with all kinds of fun goodies and a smile on our faces.
So good! I love their sea salt caramels. The staff Id so nice and you can see then making the yummy chocolates!
Its a very cute, old-fashioned place with a friendly staff and delicious chocolate! Try the chocolate covered orange peels - they are delicious! I loved it here.
Really great owners happy to talk about the history of the place. We look forward to making another trip!
I like their turtles. Overall the Schmidts experience is a typical tourist attraction thats more about the atmosphere than the food.
They treat you like family. They take orders over the phone and you can run and pick it up quick! Great selection of candies and fudges!!
Good fudge and other candy. Very friendly service. Not a large store but a variety of fudge, candy and other goodies and souvenirs.
Schmidts Fudge House was a great place to visit with the family for fudge. If youre looking for unique flavors, summer is definitely the time to stop by.
The fudge was absolutely delicious as well as the chocolate there. Staff was super kind and talkative
Not only do they have awesome chocolates, but fantastic employees
The treats were delightful! Watching them make the fudge was super cool and made the whole shop smell delicious!!
We didnt get to see how fudge was made but they have an amazing collection of so many different types of fudge. Highly recommend to visit.
Bought some german cookies, 3 packs of PopRocks for the kids, and some post cards. Cute, quaint store that would make some people who collect expensive knick-knacks very happy.
Best homemade fudge best homemade chocolate great candy selection. Its the best place ever
Great choices and very cute store! The customer service was amazing.
Nice place with a wide array of treats and friendly staff.
A charming candy and chocolate shop located in German Village. Also a great place to find unique gifts.
Delicious candy! Great customer service! All around great and informative location inside german village.
Great place to tour or visit while in town. Great selection and very happy to assist you with decision making and gift ideas!
A large variety of sweets and goods and if you can get there when they just take the large roll of fudge out to cut and package, theyll usually give you a small sample and IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Good chocolates and gifts. Dont for get to visit The Red Stable across the street for gifts that are locally made.
They have a good selection of sugar free chocolates along with regular chocolates.
Super friendly and helpful staff and amazing chocolate! Highly recommend!
My Girlfriend loves this place so I have to give it an OK rating, personally I like the Peanut Brittle best. Pricey.
Nice selection of items. But unfortunately, their prices arent the best. Everything seems to be marked up.
The staff are friendly, the place is quaint and historic, and the chocolates are melt in your mouth delicious!!!
U know this place as a kid as a adult as a patron its wonderful not like a wonka place but dang close love it very creative
Very helpful service. Excellent chocolate!
Great fudge, turtles, (the chocolate kind)Salted Carmel sqaures
Anytime we are in Columbus I make a special trip for the Fudge shop. Its worth the trip. I promise.
Absolutely fantastic! The environment is fenomenal on the weekends. Expect an hour-long waiting time.
Awesome place! Whenever I visit my friends in Columbus, this is always a stop for us
Great treats. Tim is a top-quality person and he and his staff treat everyone well.

2022-03-08Its a trap! Youll probably end up walking over here if youre waiting for a table at the wonderful restaurant next door. And then youll see all these delicious treats, and because youre hungry (you did, afterall, come to eat a place that offers all you can eat sausage), youll load up on sweets that your waistline does not need.And boy did I.They have quite a few of the chocolates that are native to Germany and other countries, as well as a small selection of less-guilty sugar-free chocolate offerings.
Review №2
2022-07-03A German Village treasure, this little shop is so much more than delicious fudge. Unique imported gifts and treats, nostalgic sweets, and much more. Topped off with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, Schmidts is well worth the visit.
Review №3
2020-01-20I loved visiting Schmidts Fudge Haus. We picked up two peanut butter graham chocolates and they were delicious. The owner and staff were very friendly and knowledgeable as well as passionate about what they do.

2021-03-25Fantastic little shop. Fudge, sweets, trinkets, and unique (for central Ohio) gifts. I’ll be back!
Review №5
2022-06-25Classic old-school confectionery with a warm staff plus a fun selection of souvenirs. And the fudge is excellent!
Review №6
2021-12-15Great place to kill some time if you are waiting for a table nearby at the restaurant. A large selection of German sweets, fudges, and assorted chocolates are on display. As this is effectively a gift shop, expect the prices and the quality to reflect that. Either way, they will have a favorite for everyone (I thought the buckeyes were very tasty!).

Review №10
2021-11-24My family is visiting from Florida and of course the kids wanted to stop in here for some candy. My husband, who does not normally eat sweets, fell in love with the turtles. I found some nice souvenirs. Our kids found a few extra candies in the bag thanks to Tim, a true Willy Wonka at heart. Wish we had such a warm and inviting candy shop as this in our hometown. Keep up the good work Schmidt’s!
